What's wrong with Dr Seuss?@Beofett - Cuious! But I have a feeling some of that may be the "I am the walrus" effect. "The Cat in the Hat Comes Back, in which the Cat may represent colonial or absolute dictatorial power" - that sounds too much of a stretch even to me, and I'm a life-long expert on progressive-subtext-reading.

Paternity test or notI'm with @user1450877. You are saying that a father should be someone who is in a child's life... yet if the person isn't even told about a child they aren't given that choice at all. Unless the OP explicitly notes that the father was informed AND refused to be a part of child's life, you're passing unwarranted judgement.

How do I tell my parents I'm no longer Christian?@DA01 - them supporting a child is a FAVOR, not a necessity. Therefore, judging their willingness to do what's best for a child based on withholding that favor isn't a logical approach. People cut off support to children for MANY reasons, an doing what is NOT best for the child isn't usually one of them.
